Author's Notes: Lurker, first-time poster! I've been dazzled by the displays of wit and rhyme in the clerihews here for weeks and I was finally inspired to try my hand. Be gentle. It's my first time. :)


Irene Adler, The Woman
Broke the "fair sex" ban.
She got Holmes's attention
And his frequent mention.

Thanks so much for joining in ^___^ And with such a lovely clerihew ^^

I like "attention/mention". As you say, Holmes does apparently continue to bring up Irene Adler with Watson even after the case has finished.

Thank you very much! I never heard of clerihews until I found this comm. This just sort of came to me while I was doing something else--I think they're getting under my skin!

Thank you! Right in the first paragraph we learn that Holmes brings up the subject enough for Watson to know he has a clear preference for one term ("The Woman") over another. To me that suggests there were more than a few mentions after the fact.

And of course, he kept the picture... ;)
